El Chalténin nähtävyydet

Editor's Choice

El Chaltén, Argentina's trekking capital, features a network of trails leading to vantage points over the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. These viewpoints offer direct lines of sight to the granite spires of Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre, the meandering Río de las Vueltas, and the vast Viedma Lake. Most trails originate directly from the village, ranging from short 20-minute climbs to several-hour treks through beech forests and glacial moraines.
